2019 Trial 2 V Bulldogs: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

I don’t think Wighton is playing to bad for first go at 5/8. Sezar is involved which is great.

Just the defense is so disappointing. No communication, line speed and goal line defence is just terrible.

Give him the #1 jersey and save him for R1.

He's looking good considering it's only his third run around if you count the fan open day. I just wish he spelled his third name with a C instead of a K so I could nickname him the Music Factory. If the Wighton experiment at 5/8th goes belly up again, he'll probably fill in for Rapana.

Sezar is also looking better than he did last season.

Admittedly I was hoping for more from the first half, though my reservations about our new fullback have eased considerably at least.... so not all bad right?

Sezer playing too sideways. Needs to be more direct and engage the defense. Take a leaf out of Foran's book.

At half time, NSW Government commits $8.5 million to upgrade Bega Recreation Ground in a bid to have the Raiders play on the South Coast regularly.

Don Furner says the Raiders would like to alternate their “home” trial between Bega and Queanbeyan, and are pencilling in a return to Bega in 2021.

Not much joy there for us, and lots to worry about.

Where's the defence they've been concentrating on :/

Remember, we are playing the Bulldogs. A side most likely finishing in the bottom four this year.

Was thinking the same thing- Sezer hasn't got his jumper dirty yet. I think he's overdoing the "organising half" thing. Needs to threaten the line.

I have no issues with what I have seen with Jack at 5/8 and also like Seizer stepping up.

Very happy with CNK.

Disappointing defence, especially around the ruck. Who replaced Sia at 13 Bateman? Be interesting to see the good Bateman there. I think he and Hodgo could form a good defensive team.

Seriously? Do they need to win the State election for it to happen?

Pretty uninspiring first half... only consolation I can take is that doggies have scored most of their tries down our right edge which is a guy just out of 20s and a guy who's been playing Rugby 7s for the last year or two...

Stuart should really be sending out the starting 13 again to redeem thereselves

He's been our best, time to take him off.

Agree.

We are really short in the outside backs!

When he ran the ball 20m sideways he has to have someone running of his hip straight no use throwing a long ball when the defence has already closed in you are just putting huge pressure on the receiver.

Sezer kicking quite nicely today- hitting grass regularly.

Post by **The Greenhouse** » February 23, 2019, 5:08 pm

46th min Raiders force their first line drop out of the match.

BadnMean · Post by **BadnMean** » February 23, 2019, 5:09 pm

Nice cut out pass from Wighton. More like it.

Short in goals are making me anxious

Post by **The Greenhouse** » February 23, 2019, 5:11 pm

49th min Raiders attack in the red zone, with repeat sets, but it all ends in a simple error near the try line.

Bay 67 · Post by **Bay 67** » February 23, 2019, 5:12 pm

So... I give this Wighton to 5/8 thing til Rd 4...

Post by **The Greenhouse** » February 23, 2019, 5:14 pm

52nd min The Raiders again get an opportunity in the red zone... and the attack was easily snuffed out by the Bulldogs.

No... I'll just deploy my usual Raiders coping strategy. Alcohol.

Post by **The Greenhouse** » February 23, 2019, 5:19 pm

56th min Kris and Simonsson off, Harley Smith Shields and Tony Datini are on.

We know the Raiders haven’t worked much on the attack this off season. It shows. And the area of focus, defence... hard to see any improvement.

Bay 67 · Post by **Bay 67** » February 23, 2019, 5:19 pm

On the upside, we're holding our own against this NSW Cup side.

Post by **The Greenhouse** » February 23, 2019, 5:21 pm

58th min TRY RAIDERS to Nick Cotric, he’s unmarked out wide! Long bullet pass from Wighton sets it up. Croker converts from the sideline. Bateman off, Sezer off, Tapine off. Williams is on.

Bulldogs 22-12
